Robotics Integration Engineer

CX2 is a next‑generation defense technology company founded to deliver spectrum dominance for the United States and our allies. CX2’s AI‑enabled hardware and software platforms detect, disrupt and defend the electromagnetic spectrum across land, air, sea and space domains. CX2 is seeking a highly skilled Robotics Integration Engineer to join our growing team. This role requires an onsite presence in our El Segundo, CA HQ; a remote work environment is not considered for this opportunity. Key Responsibilities Integrate sensors, onboard compute, and distributed robotics subsystems across perception, control, logging, and ML workflows Design and maintain reliable data pipelines, middleware interfaces, and communication frameworks for distributed robotic systems operating over high‑latency or constrained networks; Optimize system performance across CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and network resources Build robust networking solutions for unreliable, bandwidth‑constrained, or multi‑robot environments Deploy and maintain software on embedded and edge platforms using reproducible environments, containerization, and CI/CD workflows Implement observability, testing, and validation tools to support debugging, field testing, and operational reliability Ensure systems degrade gracefully under high load, intermittent connectivity, or partial failure conditions Required Qualifications Core Strong programming skills in C++ and/or Python Experience with containerization and DevOps practices for robotics (e.g., Docker, CI/CD) Experience with Linux systems programming Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including transport protocols, latency, throughput, and reliability trade‑offs Robotics / Systems Experience with robotics middleware and communication frameworks, such as ROS/ROS2, DDS‑based systems, or modern pub/sub alternatives Experience integrating and working with real hardware systems (beyond simulation) Familiarity with embedded platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, FPGA, RTOS) Performance Engineering Strong understanding of concurrency, memory management, performance‑critical system design Experience profiling and optimizing systems (e.g., perf, Valgrind, tracing tools) Bonus Points Hands‑on experience with multicopter drones and their autopilot systems (e.g., PX4, ArduPilot) Experience with simulation stacks such as Isaac Sim or Gazebo High‑throughput data (video, radar, RF/IQ streams) Zero‑copy and shared memory techniques GPU pipelines (CUDA, TensorRT) Edge‑to‑cloud architectures Knowledge of time synchronization (PTP, NTP, clock drift handling) and distributed systems design patterns Exposure to SLAM / perception pipelines and ML inference systems in production ITAR Regulations To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. Citizen, Green Card holder, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
